Real Water Bagels

New York by the Bay has real, water-boiled bagels–soft and chewy, with a proper shiny skin. They have a touch of sweetness, almost like a water challah–some might mark them down in authenticity for that. Compared side-by-side with bagels from House of Bagels and Marin Bagels, the New York by the Bay bagels win hands-down, says rworange. And the proprietor talks like a real New Yorker.
